the coming conference betwesn repre-

favorable to the former will be &C.

which continued uptil well in the
afternoon. After / o'clock p m how.

Algerian Women.

The lives the women lead in Algiers,
! particularly if they are young and pretty,
are simply terrible. When about fourteen
an Algerine girl is married-or rather
sold, for it is scarcely more than money
transaction-to man whom she has prob
ably never seen, but who from that mo-
ment possesses absolute authority over her.
If she belongs to the higher classes she is
usually restricted, even in her husbands
house, to one or two rooms. '1f she were
allowed to wander up and down stairs she
might meet man" the husband says.
| The windows of the rooms into which she
may 90 always look into courtyard, not
| a public street, but for all that they are
carefully covered with lattice-work, so that
she may have no chance of holding COM
munications with the outside world. The
only amusement she is allowed to indulge
in is a weekly visit to the cemetery, where
she is supposed to go to mourn for the
dead This mourning, | must confess,
Is performed in manner peculiar
to the country. On Fridays,
all men having been carefully excluded,
the Algerine ladies drive, closely yelled, to
the cemetery. Once inside the gates, they
throw aside their wells, and, seating them
selves upon the tombstones, prepare to
make day of il. They also 60 provided
with a substantial luncheon, and they
spend the whole day laughing, chatting,
ndgossiping with their fellow-mourners.
At sunset, they resume their wells, mount
into their carriages, and are driven back
to their homes, which they will not quit
until the following Friday. The most
painful part of the fate of these women is,
